In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 365: Fengchan Taishan, comparable to Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han?
These sergeants are said to be defending the city. The battle took place when the Jin Kingdom abandoned the city and left from Nanjing to Luoyang. At that time, they were stationed in a small county town in the middle. The defenders were only a few thousand people. The Jin army came to attack, with 10,000 soldiers from the whole country. +.

The Koreans sat farther away and couldn't hear what was said above, and there were people behind them who were sitting farther away than them.

The scene was not quiet, and the crowd often cheered and applauded.

After listening to the whole scene, the Koreans didn't hear even a word, but the people behind them seemed very excited and heard clearly.

After the final speech, someone at the scene raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the Song Dynasty, long live His Majesty."

Then more and more people joined in and shouted.

Several Korean people spent dozens of coins without hearing a word clearly, and then followed the disbanded people out in a daze.

They came to their senses only when they got outside, and quickly asked someone to ask what they had just said.

The man also said he didn't hear clearly.

The Korean said, "How powerful are you in shouting?"
The man giggled, and everyone was shouting, so why didn’t I follow suit.

Then he told the Korean people that it would be posted on the wall of the academy. If you are literate, go and take a look.

Koreans can only watch it.

The announcement on the spot was quite sensational, with thousands of words, and it was plastered all over the right wall of the academy.

The announcement first talked about the family backgrounds of several sergeants. For example, there was a sergeant named Song. Before he went to the front line, his mother was seriously ill at home. Originally, the commander-in-chief allowed him to take leave and go home to see his mother for the last time, but Song heard this. He wanted to kill the enemy and serve his country, and when he had the chance to regain his country, he decided not to go home.

In the middle, the scene of several people defending the city was written like a novel, and even the Koreans were excited to see it.

At the end of the announcement, a few big words were written on the wall of the academy: "Everyone has the responsibility to defend the country and resist the Tartars."

I don’t know whether the Koreans believed it or not. Anyway, the people in the city were very excited, and the same thing was going on in various parts of the Song Dynasty. There were retired sergeants everywhere promoting their deeds. These exciting heroic deeds were also The society encouraged generations of people of the Song Dynasty to actively join the army and join the battlefield in order to defend the Song Dynasty and continue the Han government.

Lin'an City.

Zhao Yurui is in the Machinery Department of the Firearms Bureau.

Today, the mechanical department drilled a steel pipe out for him with a hydraulic drill.

Zhao Yurui was holding a steel pipe and looking at it. The copper pipe was about half a meter long, with an aperture like a gun barrel and a relatively smooth outer wall.

The results were pretty good, but the process was quite cumbersome.

As he watched, the craftsmen and officials from the Firearms Bureau explained to him the hard work involved.

This made him feel that it was not easy to build a musket after traveling through time.

Zhao Yurui has long wanted to build a musket. After all, this is the first thing any protagonist who travels through ancient times wants to do. He can even draw a rough picture of a flintlock gun. Of course, he is not familiar with the parts himself. I can only rely on imagination, and I have been preparing for several years before starting to do this.

According to officials, the pipe alone took more than a month to build.

The pipes need to be made of highly refined steel, that is, they are tempered with wrought iron again and again. This step alone takes several days.

Next, make the outside into a round shape.

At first they wanted to roll the steel plate into a tube like the late Ming Dynasty, which was simpler.

However, Zhao Yurui asked for drilling holes, so they could only round the outside and then drill holes. This step could be done using the mold method, which would save trouble.

The third step is to drill with a hydraulic drill. The drill bit has been drilled several times more than the gun barrel material and has better toughness, but it is not easy to drill in just like this.

The officials drilled from both ends, and the drill on the left would be replaced by the drill on the right, basically changing one drill bit every quarter of an hour.

It took eighteen drill bits to drill it completely.

It would take a craftsman half a month to make these eighteen drill bits.

If a craftsman leads several workers to do this, it will take more than a month to produce a pipe, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

And it's still half a meter long, which is obviously not enough to make a gun, and it hasn't been finished yet.

Zhao Yurui was slightly silent after hearing this.

The biggest difficulty in processing the gun barrel is drilling, and the biggest difficulty in drilling is the drill bit.

In addition to the length of the drill bit, you also need a durable drill bit to do this job.

Their drill bits are mainly used for cutting wood, drilling wood, and drilling wrought iron. They consume a lot of money. If they are used to drill fine steel, they wear out very quickly.

And limited by the technology of this era, the front of their drill bits is cross-shaped, which is relatively rough. It needs to be made with a mold first, and then refined. It takes a long time to make the drill bit.

Zhao Yurui tried using the drill bit that was made, and then cutting the bore of the drill bit, but it was also ineffective. Making the drill bit with a mold was the fastest, but of course the quality was also poor.

"Then use the rolling method." Zhao Yurui feels that the industry has not developed yet, so he can only use the traditional method, that is, the rolling method.

The rolling tube method is simple and easy to use, but it is not durable and will probably explode after twenty or thirty shots.

That day, Zhao and Rui decided to use the rolling method to make the barrel of the gun at the firearms bureau.

The length of the barrel is similar to that of a Lumi gun. It is divided into two layers, large and small, and is spliced ​​together. The length is about 1.2 meters and the weight is about six and a half kilograms. Including the rear part, it is about 1.5 meters and weighs nine kilograms.

This length is similar to the Lumi gun, and the weight is about two kilograms heavier than the Lumi gun.

The reason for the increased weight is that Zhao Yurui needs to increase the weight of the barrel wall and increase the number of times the barrel can be used. It must have a service life of at least thirty or even fifty guns.

After the barrel of the musket is changed to the rolling method, it is simple to build the barrel, followed by other parts.

Zhao Yurui could naturally remember most of the commonly used parts, such as the trigger, hammer, fire door, and aiming device. For this purpose, he even asked a carpenter to make a simple wooden musket.

This musket is relatively simple, with only a few parts such as a trigger and a fire door. It is the memory of Zhao and Rui making match guns when they were young.

Then Zhao Yurui explained in detail to the craftsmen.

Put the gunpowder here, install the flint here, then pull the trigger, the hammer and flint strike to ignite, the gunpowder explodes, generating impact force, and the bullet is ejected.

He said it was very simple, but the specific structure was completely based on his own guess.

As for where the fire door is, how to strike the trigger, and whether a spring is needed, Zhao Yurui originally didn't know. Fortunately, the craftsmen have been studying it based on his instructions in the past few years, and they have been able to successfully trigger the fire. The only The difficulty is how to match it to the barrel so that it can run perfectly and complete the firing.

Zhao Yurui spent the whole morning at the Firearms Bureau today, and had lunch with several officials at the Firearms Bureau at noon.

In the view of Zhao Yurui and the officials, with the current capabilities of the Song Dynasty and the strength of the craftsmen, with Zhao Yurui as a teacher in front, it is not difficult to make muskets, but the difficulty is to improve the quality.

When Zhao and Rui left, they asked the craftsmen to use the drilling method to make a musket and the pipe rolling method to make a musket.

The craftsmen believe that the drill bit is not that long and can only be used in the same way as the barrel rolling method, by fitting the large and small tubes together, drilling two or even three different barrels and fitting them together.

Returning to Chuigong Hall in the afternoon, Zhao Yurui's case was already filled with memorials approved by the cabinet secretaries (including the official documents and urgent messages sent below). Under Zhao Yurui's restructuring, the cabinet system of the Song Dynasty was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Learning, but different.

Because there was no ceremonial supervisor in the Song Dynasty, and there was no such thing as eunuchs approving red documents, usually after the cabinet personnel on duty finished approving the documents every day, they were sorted into important and unimportant categories and piled on Zhao Yurui's imperial records.

When Zhao and Rui sit in front of the imperial case, they will understand it at a glance.

From left to right, there are military affairs, civil affairs, official affairs, financial affairs, and other matters.

Zhao Yurui puts civil matters first, which also means that he values ​​civil matters more.

The cabinet members on duty today include Li Huang, Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Lang Huangpu, Secretary, and Uncle Xie Fang.

The three people were discussing something when the emperor came in. When they saw the emperor coming in, the three people quickly stood up and kowtowed.

"No gifts, no gifts." Zhao Yurui waved his hand casually and came to the side of his imperial case.

Hu Song quickly brought a glass of cold water. It was still relatively cold in Lin'an in July. The emperor usually liked to drink cold water, but most of the ministers were still accustomed to drinking herbal tea.

Seeing the emperor sitting down, Emperor Li, Huang Pu, and Uncle Xie Fang looked at each other and stood in front of the emperor's case first.

Zhao Yurui looked around and grabbed the question about military affairs first.

According to Zhao Yurui's request, the more important things are placed in the front, and the less important things can be placed in the back. He usually looks at the top military things first.

The first one is not a memorial, but a letter sent by Meng Gong from Shaanxi.

He led an army of [-] and [-] civilians from the Longyou area of ​​Shaanxi Province into Xixia, and finally sent a message from Hezhou to Lin'an.

This letter was sent more than a month ago, and it took more than a month to reach Lin'an through various provinces.

This was Meng Gong briefly explaining his strategy and intentions to the emperor. It was not considered urgent, so he did not go very quickly.

Zhao Yurui opened it and glanced at it briefly, then picked up the next letter.

The following letter was sent more than 20 days ago and came from Xixia.

This letter was sent more than ten days later than the previous one, but it arrived in Lin'an at the same time as the previous one.

Meng Gong said that Kuoduan had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to stop the attack. He temporarily decided to attack the vicinity of Xiazhou first, grab some people and supplies, and then go back and find a way to flood Zhongxing Mansion.

Zhao Yurui had originally discussed with him that he was going to flood Zhongxing Mansion, but there were several prerequisites for flooding Zhongxing Mansion. First, he had to have enough supplies to survive for a long time, second, he had to be able to defend the Mongolian army's attack, and third, he had to have enough supplies to survive for a long time. There are enough human resources to do the work.

When the Mongolian army flooded Zhongxing Mansion, the first two conditions were met, but there were no civilians, so the project was a mess and it ended up flooding itself.

Meng Gong went to arrest people first, and Zhao Yurui thought there was no problem.

Zhao Yurui estimated the time. Meng Gong's army should be fighting the Mongolian army now. If Meng Gong's army was surrounded or already stationed outside Zhongxingfu City, the messengers from behind would not be able to come over, and it would be meaningless for Zhao Yurui to reply.

Zhao Yurui believed in Meng Gong, and believed in his own plans and strategies, so he was not prepared to reply to Meng Gong.

With the generals outside, it is better to let them decide for themselves how to fight.He was thousands of miles away and it was not easy to influence the generals, let alone a famous general like Meng Gong.The following letter was also sent by Meng Ying from Guazhou, which is three to four thousand miles away from here, or even further. This letter was sent just after Meng Ying occupied Guazhou, and the time of writing was more than two months ago.

Meng Ying said that Li Pingxia's troops had already entered Xiliao. Chagatai ignored Xiliao and still led his troops to attack Shazhou. Later, he planned to take Chagatai to run around, from Xixia to Xiliao. If he really ran away If not, then return to the city and hold on, stalling for time and allowing Meng Gong to flood Zhongxing Mansion, but it is not certain that Chagatai will definitely attack the city.

Meng Ying was not wrong either. After a few days of attacking Chagatai and Kuoduan, they lost interest and immediately returned to fight against Meng Gong.

Meng Ying also said that if Chagatai also went to fight Meng Gong, they would follow behind.

After reading it, Zhao Yurui stood up and looked at the map and found that Guazhou was more than 2000 miles away from Zhongxing Mansion.

As for Guazhou and below, it is currently all the territory of the Mongolian army, and every city is garrisoned by the Mongolian army.

Meng Ying led his troops to follow. Supplies were a problem. Either they would rob the Mongolian herdsmen along the way. If all the Mongolian herdsmen entered the city, it would be more troublesome.

But Xixia has a shortcoming, that is, except for a few important cities such as Zhongxingfu, most of the cities are relatively small. Once a war breaks out, the surrounding herdsmen can run in as much as possible, but many cattle, horses and sheep cannot all enter the city.

This can be seen when Mongolia invaded Xixia. The people of Xixia could enter the city, but they could not bring in the large number of cattle, horses and sheep. The space in the city was small, and there was no place to herd them.

Do your cattle, horses and sheep want to graze in the city?Want to poop?

Therefore, the Mongolian army could plunder a large number of cattle, horses and sheep outside and use them as supplies. The Mongolian army could use these supplies to besiege Xixia for many years and fight for a year or two without any problems.

I hope Meng Ying can also plunder more supplies. Zhao Yurui is now beyond reach, so he can only bless them secretly.

There was no letter from Meng Ying after that, and the news of the subsequent ambush on Bahe didn't reach Lin'an in time.

Zhao Yurui quietly looked through the various memorials and letters on the table.

A letter came from Lu Wende of Liaodong. The letter was written more than 30 days ago. The Song Army and the Goryeo Allied Forces, with one hundred thousand troops, have surrounded the Eastern Xia King Pu Xianwannu in Beijing on Kaiyuan Road.

The capital of the Eastern Xia Kingdom was located in the mountain city of Krasnoyar on the south bank of the Suifen River, which is now called Ussuriysk in later generations (it is four hundred miles east of our Mudanjiang City, and 150 miles due south of it is the famous Haisanwei)

The Eastern Xia state owned Shangjing, Tokyo, Beijing, Nanjing and several other capitals. The king of the Eastern Xia, Pu Xianwannu, focused on guarding Beijing on Kaiyuan Road.

In the original history, the Mongolian army was divided into [-] troops to attack the Eastern Xia in three directions, and Bo Xian Wan Nu also defended Beijing with heavy troops. The Mongolian army first went to Nanjing and then attacked Beijing. After capturing Pu Xian Wan Nu alive, they then They successively broke through the remaining places of resistance, and then massacred all the Dongxia people, completely pacifying this side.

This time, the combined forces of Goryeo and Song Dynasty attacked Dongxia Kingdom more smoothly than the Mongolian army's attack, because the Song army and Goryeo army had naval divisions.

Tokyo and Beijing in the Eastern Xia Kingdom are both located along the coast.

One hundred miles south of Beijing is Hai Sanwei. Lu Wende led 500 Song troops and [-] Goryeo troops, with more than [-] ships, heading toward the East Xia Kingdom along the coastline.

It is claimed to have an army of 20, but in fact the real army is only [-] Song troops, [-] Korean troops, and [-] Koreans who are civilians, boatmen, craftsmen, etc.

Among the more than 500 ships, [-] were ships from Goryeo.

The Song army attacked from the sea and caught the Dongxia Kingdom by surprise.

Tokyo in the Eastern Xia Kingdom was less than a hundred miles away from the sea. When the Song army arrived at the city, they didn't know that it had been conquered in one day.

To say that these Dongxia people are quite fierce and would rather die than surrender, the Song army could only let the Goryeo army kill them all.

Most of the people in Eastern Xia are Jurchens, with a small number of savages, similar to the wild Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty.

Basically, they all escaped from the Kingdom of Jin.

When Mongolia invaded the Jin Kingdom, most of the Jin Kingdom surrendered, and many of them became famous Mongolian generals, such as Aotun Shiying.

However, a small number of Jurchens who refused to surrender formed the Dongxia Kingdom with Pu Xianwannu. They had been fighting against the Mongols throughout history, and were massacred when the country was finally destroyed.

Now the Song Army and the Goryeo Army are attacking in the same way. The Dongxia people refuse to surrender and resist until death.

Lu Wende was better than the Mongolian army. All the Dongxia soldiers who refused to surrender were killed, and the women and children were kept. Some young men could be kept as long as they were not soldiers. They had to be replaced by Mongolians, including the women and children. All will be chopped off.

When Lu Wende wrote the letter, Dong Xia's Beijing had already been surrounded. Dong Xia's last main force, more than 1 people, was in the city.

He claimed that in order to reduce casualties, he wanted to besiege the city and trap Pu Xianwannu to death. At the same time, he tried to recruit surrender and try to avoid a strong attack. He also asked His Majesty what to do next once the Dongxia Kingdom was conquered.

Zhao Yurui thought for a while, then picked up a pen to approve the reply.

Lu Wende had [-] troops in Liaodong, and this time he dispatched [-]. Zhao and Rui were afraid that the Mongolian army in Liaodong would take the opportunity to attack, and the Central Plains area had been defended, so they could mobilize troops and horses to support Liaodong.

He will dispatch [-] veterans and [-] new soldiers to Liaodong, totaling [-] troops to support Lu Wende.

In this way, the Song army can reach [-] troops in Liaodong. These [-] troops can not only defend Liaodong, but also have the opportunity to expand its territory. If the Mongolian army goes to full-scale war, they can attack the territories of Genghis Khan's younger brothers in the northwest and force them to move toward Wokuo. Put pressure on Taiwan.

"Occupy Haisamwei and set up a navy on the island. The navy has 2000 men on standby. Among the plundered Jurchen women, those with children will be given to the Koreans, and those without children will be distributed to Haisamwei navy officers."

After writing this, Zhao Yurui stood up and came to the map again to look at it.

More than 400 miles west of Beijing is Mudanjiang City in later generations, but Zhao Yurui couldn't tell it now.

I only vaguely remember that some distance further to the west is either Changchun or Harbin.

Now there are no maps of these cities. He shook his head and could only point to a place casually, circle it with a pen, and then go back and write: "Try not to kill and surrender, leave some local people to build the new city of Changchun. "

But the location that Zhao Yurui casually picked was not in Changchun in later generations, but near Ning'an in later generations, close to Mudanjiang City.

Zhao and Rui pointed here because there is a famous Jingpo Lake here. The lake is large and suitable for building a city.

So the new Changchun City came into being after Zhao Yurui clicked it casually.

After finishing the order, Zhao Yurui returned to the court and asked, "Will Xu Yuan from the Ministry of Industry be on duty tomorrow?"

Emperor Li, who had been standing in front of the emperor, responded yes.

Zhao Yurui said: "Next, we will do a lot of work near Dongxia Kingdom and build several new cities."

"The imperial court needs a large number of civilians and various supplies."

Emperor Li and the other three listened quietly.

Zhao Yurui walked to the map again and pointed to the direction on the map.

"We are not very familiar with that place. We will send officials from the Ministry of Industry to escort the Liaodong Dusi soldiers and horses to check the local terrain and look for places with water sources, stones and even minerals to build a new city."

"I just clicked casually and saw that there seems to be a lake over there. The specific topography will have to be visited by officials from the Ministry of Industry to know."

Emperor Li was a little puzzled, but fortunately he knew the emperor's character, but he asked boldly: "How dare you, Your Majesty, why do we go to such great lengths to build a city in that wild and cold place?"

The Eastern Xia Kingdom is now a very panicked place, and there are not many people even in later generations. Changchun is nearly a thousand miles due west from the capital of Eastern Xia.

The place Zhao Yurui just clicked was hundreds of miles away, not even Changchun.

"Although it is a bitter cold place over there, it is rich in all kinds of materials, including forests and minerals, which are inexhaustible."

"If we build a city and occupy it, it will be our Song Dynasty's land from now on."

"And going northwest, it can further threaten the northeastern region of Mongolia."

"I plan to build the city to the northwest step by step——"

Zhao Yurui planned to build Changchun first, then Harbin, then Qiqihar, and then Hulunbuir. They would build cities along a northwest line toward the northeast of Mongolia, then immigrate a large number of people, garrison troops, and finally build the castle on the grassland.

Emperor Li was naturally speechless when he heard that the forest minerals were inexhaustible.

Zhao Yurui said that to build the city of Changchun, civilian husbands would be selected from the local Dongxia people nearby, and then recruited from the nearby Goryeo. The Song Dynasty could exchange them for supplies.

For the Goryeo royal family and powerful officials, the materials of the Song Dynasty were given to them, and the lives of the Goryeo people were worthless, so they were quite willing.

For example, in this expedition to the Eastern Xia Dynasty, Goryeo generously sent out [-] civilians. Anyway, the Song Dynasty provided money and supplies.

The construction of the city is not a big deal or a small matter. It requires the cooperation of various ministries. The Ministry of Personnel prepares officials, the Ministry of Industry prepares craftsmen, and the Ministry of Rites and Maritime Trade negotiates with Goryeo about exchanging supplies for civilians.

There were also the deployment of tools, the planning and transportation of food, and the entire Song Dynasty was about to get up and running again.

Emperor Li admired His Majesty the Emperor very much at this time.

The Song Army is now in Xixia, and war is going on in the northeast. The Central Plains and Shandong are also preparing for war to prevent the Mongolian invasion. The country's resources have been mobilized, and there is still time to prepare for building cities in the northeast.

This is a manifestation of the great national power of the Song Dynasty emperor. No emperor in the two Song Dynasties could do what Zhao Yurui did.

After reading the military report, Zhao Yurui approved some important letters, including the decision to recruit another [-] new soldiers nationwide this year.

Then he saw other memorials.

Suddenly I found a bunch of memorials that were quite eye-catching.

This pile of memorials is headed by two cabinet members, Liang Chengda, the former Minister of Medicine, and Zhao Rushu, the current Minister of Medicine.

These two people are famous traitors in Zhao Yurui's cabinet, and they are both one of the seven minions of Miyuan in the original history.

Zhao and Rui remained to balance the factions in the cabinet.

Now these two people, together with Yu Tianxi, Zheng Qingzhi and other officials who had also been on good terms with Shi Miyuan, reported together, saying that Emperor Zhao Yurui Yingming and Shenwu recovered the homeland of the Song Dynasty and destroyed the Kingdom of Jin.

Liang Chengda proposed that all officials should accompany the emperor to Mount Tai to worship heaven, and then change the reign name to Yuan Zhen.

Liang Chengda and Zhao Rushu believed that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was called Zhenguan and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was called Jianyuan. Our name is Yuanzhen, which is the same as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Damn it, Zhao Yurui admired these treacherous ministers after reading it. They really know how to figure out the leader's thoughts.
